Eating disorder recovery?

I've been through this too. I wasn't actually diagnosed with anorexia because I was caught before it got extreme. But the reason your full after half a sandwich is because your stomach has shrunk from not eating anything. To be honest you probably aren't eating enough. An adult is supposed to consume 2000 calories a day. And I know it seems like ALOT!! Trust me I was in your shoes. I thought if I ate all that then I would get fat but the truth is you'll gain weight but it's just because your bodies catching up to what it's missed. But once you start gaining weight, weight gain will start to slow down and plateau. Which is most likely your ideal weight. Also, if your eating less than 1,200 calories a day your actually gaining fat cause your body is storing all the food as fat so when it is hungry and your not eating it has back up. But I have to say that it's impressive that you progressed that much without help! My condition wasn't that bad and I'm still in recovery but I have learned alot through this journey. Keep up the good work. And plus, guys like girls with meat on their bones. Do you think your boyfriend would enjoy cuddling up more with someone soft or hard and boney? You may think your not that skinny but truth is you probably are. I had the same problem.
